What Would the Countess Do?: Choosing Designers; Ending Long-Term Feuds With Grace

When it comes to etiquette, manners and overall good behavior, even celebrities need help navigating the rough waters of stardom! It’s a good thing Countess LuAnn de Lesseps of the Real Housewives of New York is joining forces with OK! to school them on the right thing to do! In a rough situation, we just ask, “What Would the Countess Do?” This week the Countess discusses showing loyalty to designers and ending long-term feuds.

Kim Kardashian is in the process of picking her wedding gown. How do you as a celebrity learn balance wearing different designers so as not to slight one over another?
When it comes to fashion designers, it’s not one size fits all! Right now, I love Teri Jon, Magaschoni, and Melanie Harris because their dresses are well made and consistently look good on me. I also enjoy trying new designers to keep my look fresh. Celebs form relationships with designers that they like and I think designers know which celebs are best suited to wear their clothes.

Celebrity feuds are prevalent in Hollywood. How would you suggest two longtime enemies finally bury the hatchet — is there a graceful way to instigate a reconciliation after a long time feuding?
The graceful way for celebs to resolve longtime feuds is to share their feelings with each other about what precipitated the conflict and what kept it going for so long. Usually, the longer the feud, the more there is to work out. The worst thing a celeb can do to resolve conflict with another celeb is to use the press to carry the message. The personal touch is always the best.
